I didn’t mean it to be tongue and cheek. Again I wanna emphasize I don’t know the history here, but lots of developers will tell you “ah let me just rebuilt this massive codebase in this language to fix this problem” only to discover new problems. I could just as easily see people say “we’re rewriting Piefed in Rust to address performance issues and lower hosting costs”.
This is coming from me who just spent 6 months building a Lemmy client from scratch instead of leveraging an existing code base like voyager. So I’m just as guilty as the next person :)
Idk what the point of this is other than, be skeptical whenever someone tells you they are going to rewrite something from scratch.
